I think there's also cases where the WG might be intentionally disregarding the FO
because its choice of design principles disagrees with the FO, and that's not an
issue of process but of technical architecture. In such cases a review of the issue
by a higher technical authority representing W3C's technical values and expertise as
a whole is warranted. A qualified Director, in consultation with the TAG and other
experts, should be able to adjudicate such issues on technical grounds: it's not
always and only about process.
